I use this for helping me to stop smoking. It give me the anxiety relief I’m after without having to pick up a cigarette. I know that’s not it’s function but it’s helped a lot and having it around my neck makes it super convenient to just use whenever. And I inhale through it like you would when smoking and then i exhale like normal. Just a side note as an additional thing it can help with.
Had mine for about a year now. It definitely helps and i’d say it’s worth the money. Just keep in mind it depends on how severe the panic attack is. For me the super super bad ones i still have trouble focusing on breathing even if i force myself to but it does help 90% of the time. It becomes a part of you i wear it everyday. With covid being a huge thing i keep it tucked in my shirt or wear something over my shirt so other people aren’t getting germs on it and i clean it regularly.
@@sine8811 you could use that but the size won’t be the same. Not only length but diameter of the hole. Your exhale won’t be as controlled. Then of course a straw wouldn’t last very long. Also it’s super flexible if you’re as little as gripping it to tight you will flex it and ruin the air flow. Also i wouldn’t want to wear a straw around my neck and buying straws all the time just to try to cut up but thats just me.
@@Dillvn So, this is for those spastics out there that CAN'T purse their lips? Or otherwise control something as simple AS BREATHING? This is absolutely NOTHING but total horseshit. Count on the morons, today's new business model.
It doesn't "make a noise" the way a whistle does if that's what you're asking. You'll hear some air whooshing through it depending on how hard you exhale, but I'd call it pretty discreet.
@@m.webster I think I'd say this is among the most discreet of the breathwork devices I've tried (second only to practicing breathwork with no device at all). It's possible someone may see it in your mouth and ask about it, but you could pretty easily just tell them it helps you meditate and relax rather than diving into your personal business with anxiety.
Wow! Excellent presentation of information. This product is being marketed hard for the new year I notice, so hopefully a lot of people will find this video.
I am not sure if the design is really what we think it is. I can never exhale all the oxygen in 6 to 8 seconds. Takes me about 45 seconds to exhale. did I do it wrong? even if I blow hard which is wrong. It still takes 15seconds to blow it all out.
I just took mine to time myself and test it again since it's been a little while. Here are my thoughts: First off, damn you've got some good lungs! I don't come anywhere near 45 seconds 😂 But it's totally okay if your exhale is longer than expected. The main thing is that we want our exhales to be LONGER than our inhales; because this activates the parasympathetic nervous system (which slows our heart rate). I'd say you might be exhaling a little bit too slowly if it's taking 45 seconds, but I also wouldn't exhale so hard that you're straining yourself, because that wouldn't exactly be relaxing at all. In your case though, I wouldn't worry too much about the exact number of seconds per exhale; just make sure they are nice long exhales that still feel somewhat natural.
Liked your input on whether anyone in a bar asked about it. I was thinking of saying it’s one of those dog whistles only dogs can hear & people like a person with a trained dog : ) Your video helped me decide to get one
Hello… I have one of these and I’m confused how this is any different than regular breathing exercising? Is it just to encourage you to DO the breathing? I was hoping to use it to help quit smoking but might be doing something wrong? Don’t quite get it.
It's meant to prolong exhalation which helps to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (to calm us down). You could practice breathwork like this without the Shift, but a lot of people still have trouble with it, which is where something like this could be helpful. From comments I've read and from what the Komuso team has told me themselves, a LOT of people are having success using this tool to quit smoking/vaping (even though that wasn't the original intent behind the product). I recommend checking out some of Komuso's videos on how to use the product. They actually offer a short course along with the product that goes into much greater detail than I did on how to use the device to prevent or stop anxiety.
Not wanting to put a dent in anyone's commission, but is there any benefits of this (seemingly) overpriced stainless steel tube (albeit with Japanese writing and a good backstory) over the other VERY similar products available?
I got one. Really pricey but i suffer from anxiety often and it actually was effective in reducing it, simply by getting me to breath normally. It isnt a miracle but it is soothing. Really liked it for flying.
I don't wanna be straw kid 😂😂🙏 bought one of these (before I saw your video) to help me not want to smoke cigs🤞 Like your video and channel idea. You make me wanna get back to work on making videos 🎥
Haha glad you liked the video! I tried to let my personality out a bit more in this one since I tend to be uptight in front of the camera. I hope the Komuso Shift can also be helpful for you quitting cigs!
Honestly, I really don't have any personal experience with mania and can't give much advice there. Have you ever tried breathwork to help you with your mania - like 478 breathing or something similar? If breathwork techniques are typically useful to you, I'd assume that logically this device would be as well. If not, I wouldn't bother with it.
Everyone should meditate, but not everyone does. This might be helpful to people just getting started and wanting more direction with breathwork. It's certainly not the right product for everyone. Interoceptive and experienced meditators would probably find little benefit.
I bought a knockoff version awhile back for about $40. It broke and because I had anchored my smoking/vaping to it, I started back. I've come around full circle to this same video and it's on sale so I'm buying one. As small as 15% is, it did help with shipping and taxes, and it's better than what they were giving for an email sign up, which is what led me to your video in the first place.
Hmm.. not sure I've seen one that focuses on the inhale. The basic concept behind most breathwork techniques (even without an assistive device) is generally to prolong exhalation to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. There are some pretty sweet higher-tech biofeedback devices out there though - it's possible one of those measures inhalation.
People are dumb for sure! This reminds me of a video I saw a long time ago about a guy who just randomly picked some rocks and started selling them with all these weird stories and people would actually buy them! Hahaha
Eh, this product I actually see the value in. It's not how I learned to deal with anxiety, but lots of people do like it. I've reviewed some that I think are really silly (which I say it in the videos, aka "negative review" from me), and even then there are loyal customers who defend those products. There's really just something for everyone. 🤷♂

Dude, if you have anxiety it’s cuz you are likely operating on a lower frequency or lower vibration. To cure anxiety, you must be in a higher vibration not a negative vibe frequency like most people. Look up ways to raise your vibration. Things that raise it was being happy, being excited, sharing love and being positive. Things that lower your vibration or frequency is being sad or depressed, being anxious, having fear etc. The media loves to keep us all in a lower vibration so we have all these problems. Entities can’t operate in our world unless we are giving off negative or bad vibes. They feed on this negative energy! Don’t create and don’t allow them to feed off it. Then anxiety will be gone. But only if you raise your vibration high enough. I highly recommend you start getting spiritual if you want real answers or help! It’s the only way… cuz everything is spiritual so to say you aren’t very spiritual is a bad thing my guy 🥲
Have you considered that this tool can help "raise your vibration" by reminding you to use simple breathing techniques. I don't want to disagree with you, but I do want to point out that your comment about the importance of spirituality is quite dogmatic and offers no guidance. If spirituality helps frame your world, great. Personally, if we are eternal beings, I don't believe we were given this limited experience in reality to achieve enlightenment. Folks can choose to be secular in their mindfulness practice and achieve the same clarity and peace as they could through intentionally spiritual practices. Your view is about as ego-centric as one who is against religion. The ultimate question is: does this device help people as a tool for mindfulness and anxiety management? Telling someone they need to "raise their vibration" is pretty useless advice when most of these tasks regarding mental health management and self care achieve the same goal. If it makes you feel better, you can frame it as a "tool to help you raise your vibration".

No problem! I hope you like it

You deserve way more subscribers bro. Good luck and don't give up. It'll come to you!
Thank you!
Thank you for your review!
No prob! :)
I’m waiting mine to come in currently, but I’m not getting it for anxiety, I’m getting it to help me quit smoking to replace the habit.
Great review. Thank you for being thoughtful and thorough.
Thanks so much!
In medical care we tell people with COPD to "smell a flower and blow out a candle." same thing. Pursed lip breathing. No device needed.
Nobody needs cherry pitters either, but sometimes tools help people
Respiratory therapist here saying that yes tools help people to focus on therapy. Some people need tangible items to help
He literally called you out in this video before i even read the comments lol
Hand to mouth.. yes some people need it
Literally achieved the same “state” by pursing my lips dont wast your money use those kissers

Thank you for teaching me how to use mine. Wow

But that association can have a reverse effect if you are in a taxi and realize you forgot to bring it. That will bring on an anxiety attack...
You're not wrong about that. I don't think anyone should become overly dependent on any one solution!

Concerned about bacteria- how often do you clean yours?
So many people say these are anti vape necklaces and they show this exact necklace do I report?
I have one & use it everyday! Works GREAT!
Sweet! Love that it's working for you :)
I think it’s pretty good. It works, but I personally find it a bit expensive.

Not at Temu!!!!
How many dogs came running after you blew into the whistle?
None, sadly. That would be my newest party trick.

I can't say for myself as I don't vape, but many people seem to be using it to quit vaping and having success with it.
Great review! Thanks 😊
No problem! Glad you liked it :)
Really dumb question, but I assume it attaches at the device? I kind of want the box chain just as a necklace if it's intact 😂
The necklace can unclip to take the device off it!

Lmfao how to immediately spot someone who hates turtles
How do you see it?
He carrys a straw with him where ever he goes
Ha this whole video was great it made me realize I’ve had anxiety attacks
Loved the story.
There's no risk in breathing through a straw except for the social stigma
